Response to the Committee of Seventy, June 8, 2026

PHILADELPHIA, PA — “The question should not be, ‘What took so long?’

The question should be, ‘Are we making meaningful progress?’

And the answer is yes.

The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office has existed for 343 years. The challenges we inherited developed over decades, not days.

For six years, we’ve worked to modernize this institution while operating with limited resources and expanded responsibilities.

No one should expect the first woman elected Sheriff to undo generations of systemic issues overnight, but they should expect progress, and that’s exactly what we’re delivering.”
